I heard there was a secret chordThat david played and it pleased the lordBut you don't really care for music, do youWell it goes like this the fourth, the fifthThe minor fall and the major liftThe baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proofYou saw her bathing on the roofHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew youAnd she tied you to her kitchen chairShe broke your throne and she cut your hairAnd from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Baby I've been here beforeI've seen this room and I've walked this floorI used to live alone before I knew youI've seen your flag on the marble archBut love is not a victory marchIt's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me knowWhat's really going on belowBut now you never show that to me do youBut remember when I moved in youAnd the holy dove was moving tooAnd every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Well, maybe there is a god aboveBut all I've ever learnt from loveWas how to shoot somebody who outdrew youAnd it's not a cry that you hear at nightIt's not somebody who's seen the lightIt's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
